Apple's iPad 2 Cover Attaches With Magnets, Wakes iPad When Opened [VIDEO]

Apple's created the iPad 2 Smart Cover, offering protection using magnets that easily attach to special metal spots on the company's new tablet.

While it doesn't seem to offer a lot of protection from dropping, this clever cover automatically wakes iPad 2 when it's unraveled.

As you can see in the video above, the Smart Cover has an origami-like way of folding so it can prop up the iPad in an optimal typing position. It'll be $39 in plastic (in five colors), and $69 (also with a choice of five colors) for the more upscale leather version.
